I found some TINY antique salt and and pepper shakers and although I didn't know what I was going to do with them, I knew I just had to get them!
Soooooo this necklace features the tiny salt shaker measuring not even two inches tall and a brass wire looped securely through two of the holes.
I LOVE this verse in Psalms that reads...
"God keeps track of all my sorrows. He collects all my tears in His bottle"
I was thinking about this verse when I thought how adorable and sweet it would be to fill this little bottle with "tears". The tears are GORGEOUS faceted glass beads that change with the light...mostly purple, greens and blues.
I glued the top on and then decided I needed to actually put the verse....or at least part of the verse....somewhere on the bottle. I found a small silver button with a hold in the middle so I glued the button to the bottom with a little wire to hold the bauble. I used a brass lace edged bezel and placed the tiny scripture inside and then covered it with a glass cabochon. There is one tiny tear that escaped and is dripping down the very bottom of the bottle.
The silver chain measures 30" with the pendant adding another 3" and the pendant portion adds another 3" or so. I added two lovly "grape" beads, brass spacers and the same glass beads inbetween the chain for added BLING!

He has made everything beautiful in it's time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (NIV)
For my about-to-turn-8 daughter.
I'm terribly proud of myself - didn't have to buy a thing, and it's so cute!
It's "regular" size (i.e. not compact) and there should be room inside for a little notebook as well. If I did it again I might think about adding a plain, flat pocket on the back as well.
I used the pattern from here:

We found these pages stuffed into cracks in the the face of the mountains, in villages around Skardu (which is in the utmost north of Pakistan)
I'm not sure why the pages were placed there. We hypothesized that it was perhaps a respectful or traditional way of disposing of old or damaged copies of the Quran. In Karachi I know that people often throw them into the sea.
We also hypothesized that it could be a means of making a religious plea, or prayer.
Either could be wrong of course.
